Description:
A great looking about uncirculated or better rare copper-nickel coin from Egypt. This is a one piastre or qirsh from the reign of Abdul Hamid II the Ottoman Sultan. The coin shows the sultan's tughra, a rose to the right of the tughra, the denomination below it and then a floral vine surrounding it all on the obverse. The reverse says Duribah Fi Misr (struck in Egypt) with Abdul Hamid accession year of 1293 AH, an indication that the coin was struck in the 25th year of his reign, all of which is surrounded by stars. It is KM-299 measuring approximately 22 mm in diameter. The coin has a plain rim. Coins of such small denomination and low mintage (751,000) are very rare in such a high grade.
